As it turns out, we also both shared an interest in real estate investing.Chris and I got our very first taste of investing earlier this year.

Suggest you get a duplex out of SFBA 2 hour driving distance, Stockton, ELk Grove etc. to get a taste first.

Grey on grey on grey is a bit severe for my taste - just my opinion - your staging could soften that a bit more maybe. 

This house is also on the historic registry so it is not newer, just has been beautifully maintained and updated.I personally have a 6 bedroom, 4 bath home in Akron, it has original woodwork throughout, bathrooms and kitchen have been updated to taste with the flow of the mid-century design when the home was built, and it is rented for $2,700 a month. 

Too many emails for my taste, so I also unsubscribed.

Having an ear buds only music policy for the workers on site will also help keep the noise level down somewhat- because these guys can place some loud music sometimes when you're not there thinking everybody likes their taste in music.

Learned $150 bottle of wine can taste less than a $12 bottle.

Simply because it leaves a bad taste in my mouth later on to some philosphy I hold on to.

Those were some pretty amazing times to taste what it's like to work on your own business full time without a traditional job.During that time, I was convinced this was what I was going to continue doing, just working full time on my business and I was loving it.

I think it depends upon your tastes.
